WOW! So many Anti-Hype points, while watching the video. I wondered how this came into being from the amazing Diablo 1-2. :-o

Well, to understand the direction, one has only to look at Angband and the 90's roguelikes which inspired the original Diablo and ask why the publisher forced the developers to change it into a real-time game.

Just not interested in the open-world component of this at all; I prefer my group-based gameplay to be laid-back, with people talking to one another. It's part of why I disliked Guild Wars 2 - everyone is hopped up on sugar, racing from one event to the next. It's more an online zergfest, and I don't see 'group' combat in D4 being any different.

If I'm going to solely buttonmash, I prefer to do it on my own, with whatever pace an energy drink or trip to the kitchen dictates for the given moment.

I'm always on my own in all Diablo games, and will be the same in D4. I'll probably join some clan, but won't be participating in anything with a party or anything.
Except for the world boss fights. There you don't really have a choice.

And I just finished Zelda!

Such an amazing thing to be able to enjoy back to back probably the two most memorable franchises from my childhood, Zelda and Diablo.

Ready to go full headstart mode: 52 hours to go and counting!
